 With the price of rent increasing in Boston rapidly people are desperate to find roommates to split the cost of rent with When desperate times call for desperate measures though people bring in more roommates in the apartment can hold often leading to overcrowding Yeah, so I live in a five bedroom apartment and couldn't honestly get really crowded sometimes with things like hanging out my jacket on the rack Like sometimes there's not enough space or even like in the fridge. There's not enough space sometimes on the shelves Even though getting a studio with a roommate was a good idea when it comes to cost It still is like very overwhelming and overcrowded inside the building It's supposed to be meant for one person and to have two people in our stuff is crammed And it definitely can be overwhelming at some times the average price of rent in the United States is $1,245 the average price of rent in Boston, Massachusetts though is $3,450 the difference in those numbers is truly shocking especially to students who are notoriously known for being on a very tight budget There was a recent survey about the most expensive cities to live in in the United States And I think Boston was in the top five New York. I think it's still number one San Francisco was up there, Los Angeles Houston, Texas randomly, but yeah, Boston is up there in the top five Apartment hunting season is already underway for Boston University students are going to secure housing for next year Reporting from my very own Boston apartment bedroom, Chloe Botanic for BUTV news
